Pinchas - 2022

Chevre, this week’s parsha, in Israel, is פִּינְחָס (Pinchas). We have a very Amazonian parsha this week. We start with gathering metrics, aka a census of the people. We have the daughters of Zelophehad Disagree’ing and Moshe committing after a word with his sponsor (HaShem). Moshe asks for a successor (Hire and Develop the Best). We have a few offerings (Insist on Highest Standards) followed by a list of the holidays (Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibilities). During the holidays themselves, we often read these sections. And I related this to responsibilities since, according to Jewish Tradition, the world stands due to the dedication of the Jewish People. I bless you, and please bless me back, that we may all find our role in making the world a better place. Shabbat Shalom.
